PAUL and MAREE DE JONG

Founding Pastors of LIFE

When my wife Maree and I arrived in Auckland New Zealand with three small boys 30 years ago to plant the church that has grown into LIFE, we had no real idea of the adventure we were embarking on.

All these years on and LIFE today is now a multi-campus, multi-national church built around four focuses – Church, Business, Kingdom, Community – and is committed to see our cities changed, our nations influenced, and the world impacted with the reality of Jesus.

Our passion is to see people encouraged to live out their calling and to be all God created them to be, as we believe that we can only fully discover our potential when we live authentic, faith-inspired, God-dependent lives.

In all aspects of your life – from leadership, church, youth, worship and creative arts, to personal development and business – God has MORE for you! Thanks for joining the journey.

ButGod...

ButGod… is an incredible new book from Ps Paul, in which he tells the story of navigating one of the biggest challenges of his personal life – the completely unexpected and diagnosis of inoperable, terminal cancer.

God doesn’t work from ‘now forwards’.
He works from ‘eternity back’.
- Paul de Jong
